SpotMt.Kaimon

This 924-meter-high volcano is known as one of Japan’s “One Hundred Beautiful Mountains.” For its smooth conic shape, it is also called “Mt. Fuji of Satsuma.” Climbers take a well-arranged spiral trail and reach the peak in about three hours. On a sunny day, the peak commands a view of Yakushima Island, well known as a world heritage site. Climbers should be well-prepared as the mountain trail has a steep rocky area.
